The Centaurus was the final development of the Bristol Engine Company's series of sleeve valve radial aircraft engines, an 18-cylinder, two-row design that eventually delivered over 3,000 hp. First run: July 1938 Number built: c.2,500 Manufacturer: Bristol Aeroplane Company Major applications: Hawker Tempest; Bristol Brabazon; Hawker Sea Fury Sleeve valve engines were developed to get over all of the problems that were encountered on poppet valve engines! Typical examples of reliability: Civil Centaurus max TBO (Time Between Overhaul) was 3000 hrs and Civil Merlin max TBO 1000 hrs. Setting up the valve timing was intensive work though. The Tempest Trials = Test with LA602 reavealed that the aircraft suffered from engine vibrations. These were solved by mounting the engine on six shock absorbing rubber-packed mountings. These mounts prevented the installation of the Centaurus XII engine (which was originally intended to power production Tempest IIs) and the Centaurus V was chosen as the production power plant. New sounset from Elmo 2018. Hope you enjoy it. (SEE FIX ABOVE)

FSX/P3D Messerschmitt Bf109G-2. The Bf 109 G "Gustav" series-frame was the most mass-produced variant of the 109, powered by the Daimler-Benz DB 605A. The 605 was basically a DB 601 with the cylinder block redesigned to increase displacement from 33.9, to 35.7 liters (~3 liters cubic capacity!) - which resulted in 175 extra HP with no significant change in size. However, the increased equipment led to heavier weight on the Gustav, in fact 10% heavier than the Friedrich. Compared to the much earlier Bf 109B, the Gustav was almost 46% heavier. The new aircraft had begun to reach front-line units by May 1942. With the 'Gustav', the Bf 109 design had reached its peak. FSX/P3D (up to v4) native GMAX mdl by A.F.Scrub.
